Welcome to Advanced Materials Manufacturing and Tribology Research Laboratory

​

Research at the Advanced Materials Manufacturing and Tribology Lab addresses the science and engineering of advanced metallic materials with particular focus on advanced materials including composites, microcellular metals and high-performance alloys. 

Our activities and interests are in various aspects of materials processing, properties and characterization. Our research programs aim at constructing a quantitative and predictive understanding of the phenomena underlying the materials development for industrial applications by employing a variety of experimental and computational tools to establish process-structure-property relationships in materials. 

​

We also conduct collaborative research on alloys and intermetallics, with focus on physical properties, mechanical behaviour, physical metallurgy, micromechanics and microstructural optimization.
